Hike through the lovely forests of the southern parts of Sierra National Forest through Crown Valley to Tehipite Dome. We plan to climb the dome and return to camp below Kettle Dome the first day, covering about 20 miles. The second day is a 20-mile day hike into the NP through Blue Canyon to climb Tunemah and return to camp. The last day hike out, about 15 miles.

Participants should be extremely well-conditioned for long light-weight backpacking and long multiple-day hikes.

In March 2010, Enrique Rodriguez left sunny sea-level San Franciscofor the icy slopes of Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world.With cold-weather resilience developed over years of waiting for theschool bus in New Hampshire and winter camping skills honed high inthe alpine zone of Mt. Washington, Enrique will discuss his 1stHimalayan expedition in pursuit of his 7th "Seven Summit."

Friday we'll hike up to Treasure Lakes where we'll set up camp and enjoy the scenery. Saturday we'll split up with the faster party heading for Mt. Gillbert. After a successful visit to the summit, they will join the slower party relaxing on Mt. Johnson, before all head back to camp. Then on Sunday we'll hike back out.

This will be a relatively slow-paced trip (for the slower party), and the climbing will for the most part be easy., so it should be appropriate for relative beginners who have done a bit of climbing.

Have a 13ner fest! Start early Friday to Sam Mack Meadow and possibly attempt Agassiz the same day if time permits. (That would be a 6,000' day!) If not, we will do Agassiz Saturday, Winchell Sunday, and bag Aperture and Gendarme Monday on the way out. No ice axe/crampons. Must be fit and not subject to altitude sickness from the quick ascent. Permit for 6 total. Contact leader Jesper Schou - schou@sun.stanford.edu or Co-Leader Stephane Mouradian - smouradian@hotmail.com.
